How can I ask in a function for a teleporter to check if it´s activated or not?

if teleporter_a_1.controller:isActivated() doesn´t work.
if teleporter_a_1.teleporter:isActivated() neither.

I´ve checked the script reference but it seems that there´s no way to call it...

teleporter_a_1.controller:isEnabled() works, but always. Because it exists. And what I need is to check if it´s activated, not if it´s "there" (either activated or not).

teleporter_a_1.controller:isEnabled() works, but always. Because it exists. And what I need is to check if it´s activated, not if it´s "there" (either activated or not).

The problem with this is that it returns always true (it´s always enabled, but it has 2 states: deactivated or activated).

I need it to return true ONLY if it´s activated.

Yes, that's why it should be:

Code: Select all

teleporter_a_1.teleporter:isEnabled()

And not:

Code: Select all

teleporter_a_1.controller:isEnabled()

Just like I wrote before. You tried controller:isEnabled(), while it should be teleporter:isEnabled(). This works. I tested it.

I´m an idiot... why I never tested that.... WHY???

Thanks a lot, you´re a true hero!!!

I need to embrace the fact that not all controllers are teleporters but all teleporters are controllers...

Hi all. I know how to give the party Exp for things but how do you Minus Exp or is it possible? Thxs

[minmay]

Just pass a negative number to gainExp(). You can't lower a champion's level this way, though (nor by any other means that I am aware of).

[Eleven Warrior]

Thxs minmay will try this out. I was thinking of putting a Minus sign next to the numbers , but thought nahhhh that wont work. Should have tried it anyway.

Hi guys!
Q: How to avoid that the dormant entity can be attacked by the party before being awake and functional as an enemy?
Thank you so much!

How do I wake up summon_stone_dormant monsters in a script? I can't seem to find a method for it.

Code: Select all

summon_stone_dormant.controller:activate()

The summon stone's wake-up animation takes about 5 seconds by my reckoning, so here's one quick and dirty solution:

1: Place an invisible wall object on the same tile as the summon stone to 'shield' it.
2: Place a timer (with timer unchecked and disableSelf checked) set to 5 seconds and connect it to a script that destroys the invisible wall.
3: Use the same trigger that activates the summon stone's controller to also start the timer, which will destroy the invisible wall at about the same time the summon stone is fully awake.
